CLEAN CUT AND ETHICAL CLOTHING AUSTRALIA PRESENTS FUTURE TALKS #3

Launched in 2015 at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia, this event set forth to open discussion amongst Australian fashion industry professionals on the production of clothing with ethical and sustainable principles in mind. This year we are proud to partner with Ethical Clothing Australia to present FUTURE TALKS #3.

Moderated by Clare Press (Wardrobe Crisis author), the panel includes founder and creative director of Viktoria & Woods, Margie Woods, co-founder of Manning Cartell, Gabrielle Manning, and environmentalist and model Laura Wells. This event is dedicated to practicing and promoting state of the art design, ethical production, and innovative business practices. In a globalised industry we discuss the importance of craftsmanship, quality over quantity and the renaissance of onshore manufacturing.

With the rise of consumer awareness globally and a demand for greater transparency, the fashion industry is now looking for ways to develop a healthier system with a more ethical future. Join us as industry leaders discuss the progressive ways Australian brands are pioneering this global movement.

VISION & MISSION

CLEAN CUT aims to dramatically reduce the negative social and environmental impact of unsustainable fashion industry operations globally. In Australia we operate as a link for the local industry to international advocacy bodies in this arena. We assist new and existing fashion brands and businesses to assess their existing impact and create measurable road-maps towards more sustainable and positive impact processes in short and long term. CLEAN CUT does this through partnering with local industry, media, designers, brands and businesses by providing them with resources through symposiums, events and digital seminars to apply these principles to their business with expertise and innovative action.
